Heartwarming reunions

Borrage House care home resident Dorothy Donnelly said she was overjoyed at being able to see her daughter once again.

The home on Borrage Lane, Ripon, is now able to welcome people on visits with loved ones in the care home following new government guidelines.

Dorothy, 89, said: “It’s just lovely to hold Sally’s hand again and it’s great to see her after all that’s happened.

“The team at Borrage House have been amazing looking after all of us here but it means so much to see my family again.”

Manager Sarah Aitken from Borrage House said: “It’s so wonderful to see our residents and relatives reunited like this! It’s so heart-warming and rewarding.”
